Abstract
A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for managing virtual processor operations. A dynamic loader receives a request to initiate the creation of a new process, followed by a virtual processor being assigned to an isolated execution environment. The dynamic loader then initiates the creation of the new process by mapping kernel data associated with the virtual processor into the address space of the process. The dynamic loader completes the creation of the new process, and its execution is initiated within the isolated execution environment.
